125: my baby my babyyy :'((( at least for once in her life she is autonomous.

124: the irony of little to no surveillance in the prison while all she's been doing outside has been performing? and the weaponization of femininity the poison in the dress wow incredible

123: SHE ESCAPES??? what is with all these mixed up chapter titles. of course the animals in their enclosure are just like people in a(n) asylum/prison

122: THE TOWER WITH BIG BEN WOO THAT PHRASING! why is it ethical to be greedy about animals but not humans? the contrast between ben's merry feast and the sinister pie customers is so interesting

the concept of by the sea... oh slovett would HATE IT.

121: sad for slovett like i'm sad for efosco and pmerlyn :'( her entire house trashed to pieces by her own mirror image the very afternoon of her death! how she refuses to sit opposite! it's so tragically freudian

and i just had the thought, it's only men buying pies yes but it's also only men getting haircuts yes? meaning it's only men getting eaten. the concept of a woman scraping a man's bones to make into a pie okay wait

120: such a theme of resurrection. mark! the dog not forgetting his master yet hmm. dogs being smarter than humans. i wish lupin had been more closely tied to the rest of this. and the asylum people. i wanted them to be not just parallels but actually involved. your honor slovett killed no one. your honor she played housewife. your honor i'm sad for her.

119: can't help feeling sad for him. the strict prohibition of suicide is really really comical

oh no internet archive DOWN so i can't track my percentages. anyway, todd and lovett are kind of romeo and juliet too aren't they??? one thinking the other is dead LOL hahahaha
